Uses of Ampidal LB Capsule

Benefits of Ampidal LB Capsule

Treatment of Bacterial infections
Ampidal LB 500mg Capsule used to treat certain bacterial infections such as gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease) and infections of the ears, stomach, and urinary tract. It stops the growth of infection-causing bacteria, thereby clearing the infection. It is advisable to continue taking it as long as it is prescribed even when you feel better, to make sure that all bacteria are killed. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and difficult to treat.
Treatment of Infectious diarrhea
Diarrhea is a condition in which you frequently pass loose, watery stools. Ampidal LB 500mg Capsule reduces the frequency of loose motions and also helps you to stay well by preventing them from coming back. It works by killing the microorganisms causing infections as well as prevents them from multiplying. Ampidal LB 500mg Capsule also restores the level of good bacteria in your stomach and thus prevents stomach upset due to the antibiotics. Since diarrhea causes loss of fluid from the body, drink plenty of fluids to make sure you stay hydrated.
